Genil Riverbank (Granada)

Highlight • River

The Ribera del río Genil in Granada is a beautiful place for walking and relaxation. The route runs along the banks of the river Genil, from the Puente Verde in Granada to the Presa de Canales in Pinos Genil. It offers an atmospheric setting with forests of galleries and an abundance of natural beauty, especially in autumn with the colourful leaves.

About the Genil

Highlight • River

The Genil River flows through Granada to an important, very fertile plain where many different crops are produced.
On its way it passes Pinos Genil and divides the city into two halves, connected only by three bridges.
It is worth knowing!

Royal Dam

Highlight • Waterfall

(Royal Dam)
The irrigation channel Real or Gorda del Genil is located on the edge of Cenes de la Vega. It is a beautiful corner, especially in autumn, when the leaves of the trees turn golden and frame this beautiful waterfall.

Path along the Genil River

Highlight • Cycleway

The cycle path is a green way to approach Granada. But it is not that special. Rather a missed opportunity to make something beautiful of it.
